Crash My Party, as mentioned above retains the #1 sales slot this week with 159k scanned, bringing the album’s sales to 687k sold in just 2 weeks. Florida Georgia Line’s Platinum-certified album sits at #2 for another week. Average Joes Entertainment Country/Rap duo The Lacs moved 15,000 copies of their third album (Keep It Redneck) to debut at #3 this week, a remarkable achievement for a band most in the mainstream have no clue that the Georgia-based act exists. Blake Shelton’s at #4 with Based On A True Story while #5 finds Luke’s second album (2011's Tailgates & Tanlines) on this tally. It’s certified Double Platinum and has multi-platinum hits on it. “Party” will likely follow suit with multiple platinum singles as well as this is a train that doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
Hunter Hayes self-titled Platinum-certified album leads #6-#10 this week. Joined by Jason Aldean and Brett Eldredge.
Hunter Hayes’ self-titled (ENCORE) sold another 9,000 copies to bring scanned sales to 955k while the album is already certified Platinum. His new single is the duet “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me.” Jason Aldean’s 1.3 million-seller features a handful of hits and its 45 weeks old and shows no signs of stopping. Current single “Night Train” is the title track. Darius Rucker’s True Believers features “Wagon Wheel” and while the single’s Double Platinum, the housing album is only at 331k sold. Still, he’s likely to end up at Gold and if a couple more big hits happen, the record could hit platinum.
